We were questing in Grizzly Hills yesterday and I was in follow-mode while chatting with a guildie about whatever issue there was.
We’re just killing some mobs, I suppose it was a killquest. Killing mobs, chatting …. thinking about what needed to be done for dinner … then I get another whisper:
Someplayer to me: “You doin’ this quest Blablabla?”
Me to Someplayer: “Can you please ask Teno, I am just following right now!”
Someplayer to me: “But you have group lead!”
Me thinks: “Wtf?” (he was right)
He kept nagging me. I gave the lead to Teno. Then bitch-mode kicked in, I hit the Starfall button, pulled all the mobs in the area, waited a while and died.
By then the conversation with the guildie was over and I proceeded to tell Mr. Get-On-My-Nerves-When-I-Am-Busy “Sorry what was it you were asking? I was chatting with someone else!”
I am really not a very social player when I am playing while my mind is not really on the game. I just want to be left alone.
He should have caught the hint after my first answer that it was not a good time to try and want something off me. It was not even as if there were not enough mobs or we were AoE-Pulling with Starfall before that. He just wanted to get the killquest over with faster. I kind of understand that …
When I am bitchy I need to put up /dnd I guess. But most people think that their specific problem needs to be adressed right then and I rarely see people respect the /dnd tag.
My real question is: how did he see I was group leader? Or was it just a good guess? I asked Teno and they had not been whispering before.
And why on earth is everyone always whispering me? Because I play a female toon?
Shortly after the “incident” I logged off.
Me to Someplayer: “I need to log off now, bye!”
/g Bye all!

In at least the standard UI you can see that little “crown” on the target frame if your target is a group leader, so it’s not that hard to see that.

Grml. I know it is supposed to be an “MMO” multiplayer and all that. But I hate the way grouping for quests work … I wish there was some way to just band together for a quest and auto-disband on quest completion and have your group inside such a construct just like it works with Battlegrounds.
